Its residents are overwhelmingly Latino and its population <br />is the youngest of any city of its size in the nation with a median average age of 26.1 years. <br />Census data reports 14.1% of all families and 16.5% of all individuals are at or below the <br />poverty level as compared to the national averages of 9.8% and 1.3.3%. The housing <br />foreclosure rate is 6.52%, compared to the national average of 1.84% and the State of <br />California's Average of 3.47%. Unemployment in January 2008 was 7.2%, and in January <br />2009 it is 12.0%. During the last decade the City made great strides in reducing crime and <br />disorder in the community through collaborative community partnerships, technological <br />advancements (including crime analysis) and carefully targeted enforcement efforts. <br />However, the City has disproportionally suffered the consequences of the current recession <br />and has been forced to make draconian cuts to its current and future budgets, thus <br />significantly reducing the number of sworn officers. There are fewer officers now than in <br />1985, and budget deficits will further reduce their ranks as early as this year. Due to the <br />current recession and financial crisis the gains from the last decade are in jeopardy and the <br />well being of the community is threatened. The Department employs 1.02 officers per <br />1,000 population which is dramatically below stare and national aycrag s. This ratio is <br />based on 42 unfunded sworn officer positions, more than 10% of total strength. Crime, <br />which had been on a steady long-term downward trend, is rising in many categories.
